Isaiah 35:5

The Ransomed Return To Zion

⁴
Say to those with an anxious and panic-stricken heart,
“Be strong, fear not!
Indeed, your God will come with vengeance [for the ungodly];
The retribution of God will come,
But He will save you.”
⁵ 
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
⁶
Then the lame will leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.
For waters will break forth in the wilderness
And streams in the desert.
